Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the full account details as returned by the Vendus API. This typically includes all fields related to the account such as name, contact info, fiscal identifiers, and other metadata.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Example output structure (simplified):
{

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests against the Vendus API.
- The base URL for the Vendus API must be set in the credentials.
- Optional debug logging can be enabled via the node's options.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Missing or incorrect Account ID: The node requires a valid account identifier; if missing or invalid, the API call will fail.
- Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Verify network access to the Vendus API endpoint.
Error Messages:
Parameter 'accountId' is required but not provided: Indicates the Account ID input was not supplied; provide a valid value.- HTTP errors from the API (e.g., 404 Not Found): Usually means the account does not exist or the ID is incorrect.
- Authentication failures: Check API key validity and credential setup.
Enabling debug logging helps capture detailed request and response information to assist in diagnosing these issues.
